This team is so freaking good.

Keep working Stix.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Stix is starting to look like not a complete disaster out there.

Which IS progress.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keep doing it Jalen.

If Frank actually comes back healthy, we are freaking deep with size.

22-2 since the brief early season stumble out of the gate.

I don’t know why anyone writes this team off from getting the best record in the league. They’re just as good as GS and better than anyone else.

Is that GS is getting one of the greatest shooters in NBA history back soon.

Now how good will he be? Who knows. Will Steph even stay healthy? Who knows but them at 100% is gonna be a show

Yeah... they’re already a show and already got guys playing Klay’s same spot stroking it from 3, shooting insane percentages. Replacing them with another great shooter doesn’t really scare me all that much. It’s adding the same element they already have. But one who’s probably not as athletic as the guys currently on the court.

Now, if their big man comes back and can actually contribute, that gives them a brand new element to have to deal with. But Klay is more of the same.

Or that’s what I’m telling myself. All I know is he’s been out 2.5 years. That is a TON of time off the court for a guy who’s gonna be 32 in Feb.

Monty said the Suns energy wasn't where he wanted it after grueling OT win in Portland.

That's what good teams do though, find a way to win.

Suns better get their fill of rest over the next three days because they are playing every other night from 12/21 to 1/8... and after a 3 day break there on 1/11, 1/12 and 1/14. Jesus that is a ton of a games without much rest.

The back half of our schedule lighten up at all? I guess there’s no back to backs in that 12/21 to 1/8 stretch.

Seems like our second on back to backs are always away. Just seems like that, I didn’t actually check
